There is no difference for any other creation. it’s a business, a project or your life, you need to step back in order to get it right. From a , you can see things you can’t see when you’re close. The difference is in working on your project working in it. It’s all too easy to focus on something but the important parts needed to create a satisfying result.
Stephen Covey calls it “ the saw(锯)”. It would be to keep sawing away without stopping from time to time to make your sharper. But unfortunately, that’s what too many of us .

You may need to take a vacation --- to work or study. At other times, it’s best to take a course or attend a meeting to some new complete break, to go away and just do something totally --- do a voluntary work, build a house for Habitat for Humanity or some other worthy cause.
The important thing is to take the breaks. Without them, we are not and we don’t enjoy our work or our life as much. Our pressure and both our work and our health suffer.
